An executive protection officer is not the same as a security guard or a door supervisor who looks after the security in a shop, bar or public spaces. The main difference in education between a security guard and an executive protection officer (bodyguard) lies in recognizing and acting to specific threats in accordance with the possible risks. The executive protection officer is a specialist in recognizing, evaluating and managing personal safety risks. These skills are therefore trained separately in the executive protection training.
Extend your knowledge about personal security
Basic training for a personal protection officer or bodyguard (SVPB) prepares you for working in the Netherlands. You learn the basics about actual practice and the law so that you can work unarmed in our country.
During our advanced executive protection training, we go far beyond the SVPB exam requirements. We shift the focus from the Netherlands to working with international clients. That greatly increases the possible risks. Think of the influences other cultures, political systems, climates, and economic opportunities can have on your clients. We cannot cover all these factors in one course, but you can learn how to investigate, analyze, evaluate, and apply them. That is exactly what his advanced program is about. We aim to make you a proactive specialist with the right mindset.
Executive protection training goals
To get you used to the international clients you may be protecting in the future, this training is given entirely in the English language by our Dutch instructors. The training consists of the following topics:
- How to become an international executive protection officer and how to maintain your position

- Etiquette and manners
- Scenario training
- Analysis of risks, threats, and vulnerabilities

The knowledge you gain will give you a better idea of the international private sector requirements. You will be better prepared to respond to the needs of clients and keep them safe and satisfied.
